Overview

This VI uses the System Exec.VI to run a command line in DOS that will shut down Windows based on the string input into the command line.

 

Description

This code consists on using the System Executive VI to run a command line in the command prompt. In the block diagram is a list with the possible commands to run. It is important to notice that running a shutdown command will shut the computer you are in, so it is recommended not to use the shutdown command.

 

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code
1. Verify you will run the desired command.
2. Run the VI.

Good call including the "warning" image. People need to understand that.
